Default I don't think it is about waiting til the RAB is empty.

I think the idea is to wait til there is sufficient time between your entering and the ones coming from the exit on the left or from around the RAB on the left. Because you are usually merging or coming from a stop, your speed will be less than those already in the RAB so you have to allow for that too. Yes, sometimes we have to wait for a break in the stream of cars, but as with a traffic light, there is always a break, at least when I've been down. I'll have to see if March means that my strategy doesn't work. I guess at first, I'll have to allow a bit more time to get to the different rec centers on time.
